The release of Shadowlands provided a new opportunity to streamline and redesign the character creation process. Go behind-the-scenes with Senior UI Designer Jeff Liu to learn more about the thought processes behind it.

Didn’t know New Players don’t see Allied Races on their character selection screen, that’s actually pretty neat.
Prob creates that sense of wonder going into the game and seeing a Void Elf or Vulpera or something and makes them be like “how do I get to play as that??”
Then google rabbit hole ensues lol

Thank you for letting us see a little bit about the creative process and understand a little about what all was involved and how it came to be for the final product.
That was really interesting and you all did an amazing job on the character creation screen. It’s super easy to navigate and you definitely focus on your character. I had no idea that new players see it differently.
What a great article, hope we see more in the future!

The new character creation screen is a pain in the neck, though. All this random crap that you have to turn off to make characters look the way they’re supposed to.

I tend to agree with this, until I look at the recolors-upon-recolors, the boring SL mogs, the green-on-gray or gray-on-gray zones, etc.
Usually the art team carries the LFR devs, but this xpac has really shown their faults.

Allied race? I think it should replace the current female worgen model.

Looks like how mogit has been since 8.3 broke it. >_>
You have UI designers? Have they tried designing any UIs? It’s been worldofaddons for 20 years.
